Public Service Message For Residents Of Ontario, Alberta Or B.C. Canada
Type 2 Diabetics that would like to take a shot at remission now have access to a Program - Doctor run and paid by provincial medicare if you live in B.C., Alberta or Ontario
(it was piloted in B.C. for the past couple of years, Alberta must have recently jumped on board and Ontario just started advertising it "today")
Much of the program is online (live/interactive video), but you are also paired with a local doctor who can facilitate the labs etc
Might be worth a look if you are interested

Do We Need To Manage Our Expectations When Living With Diabetes?
The other day I was watching some show, characters were all excited when one said “Slow Down – you need to manage your expectations”.
I got thinking - does this apply to Diabetics?
The day we get our Diagnosis our Life changes Forever.
I see many who seem to think their next 10, 20 or 30 years have gone down the drain now that they are “Diabetic”.
Whether we choose to ignore it, jump right in with both feet or settle somewhere in the middle Diabetes will be with us for the rest of our days… read more

Janumet
Has anyone had problems with their throat and mouth while taking Janumet . I would get this ball of phlegm in my throat, and my teeth would ache and now sometimes my mouth will become very very dry and I would get a tin taste or a burning feeling in my mouth.
Now that you said it about phlegm and dry mouth I understand I sometimes feel that too, I boil Peachtree leaves an hour before breakfast and dinner time since then it has sudsided

Am I The Only One That Is Sick And Tired Of Medical Professionals And Pundits Saying That Diabetes Is Progressive?
Apart from anything else it’s too vague and woolly a statement to have any meaning.
I got Cervical Myelopathy in 2002 and was told by the neurologist that I’d “be in a wheelchair in two years”. Now if I wasn’t so resilient I might have given up at that moment and resigned myself to my fate. Instead I lost 3 stone (42lbs) to bring me back to the normal weight category. I also walk a lot and go to the gym where the back extension machine keeps my spine in good shape.
